- After suffering our fifth loss of a slab power supply, I thought I would
- post to see if anyone else has been seeing this problem. In 4 of the
- cases, the slab would not respond to the power key. We've swapped
- keyboards, sound boxes, etc. -- no luck. The other power supply smoked itself into
- oblivion. Four of the cases were covered under warranty, and the failures occurred
- in the infant stages. So, is a 5 out of 13 ratio considered bad?
- We also have 4 cubes that have been flawless.
